HURLED THROUGH THE AIR.
A TERRIFIC CYCLONE IN VERNON
COUNTY, MISSOURI.

NEVADA, Mo-, April pa ter.
rife cyclone swept over the north.
ern part of this vermont county
last night. The clouds we're plain
ly visible here, passing only about
eight miles from this city. The
cyclone seemed to come down Mar
maton river from the Kansas line,
dealing death and destruction
wherever 1t struck.
AS far as can be learned the
cyclone first struck Metz township,
passing through Metz, Usage, and
Blue Mound townships. Fences,
houses, barns, and everything in
the line of the cyclone, which was
about half.a mile In width. was
picked up, rent into splinters, and
cast down hundreds of yards away.
Trees were torn up by the roots,
over thirty houses destroyed, and
about fifteen persons killed.
Only a partial list OF the dead
can be obtained, which is as fol.
lows: Mrs. Eshrout and her daugh-
ter, May Stoyer, J. @. Hawkins,
John Miller, and Mrs. John Miller.
There were only five members OF
the Miller family, four Of whom
were killed. The baby, aged two
years, was dropped in the yard and
found unhurt this morning. Parts
of the Miller residence and furni-
ture we're found strewn over the
fields for fully a mile from where
the house formerly stood. Relia.
BILE news has only been received
from Usage township, and it is
thought the death roll will be
swelled to over twenty-five. A
heavy gale passed over this city,
damaging the Methodist church
and other buildings.

Two Female CounisrfeIieTS.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The
United States Secret Service Off
GERS late Saturday night arrested
two women named Mrs. Annie
Kelly and Miss Ellen Barrett, who
have been engaged in counterfeit
ing silver coins for a number OF
months at No. 237 East 111th

women at their work, and captured
thirteen plaster of Paris mOulds,
files, melting kettles and one hun
dred and sixty.eight counterfeit
dollars. The Kelly woman Is the
wife of the notorious Geo. Kelly,
the counterfeiter, who is supposed
to be in Paris. The Barrett wo
man is twenty-one years of age and
is Mrs. Kelly's sister. When ar
ranged before u. S. Commissioner
Shields to-day they did not deny
their guilt. Mrs. Kelly said that
she had been making the counter
feits for months and had been show
ing them among the Italians. She
has two children, a boy three and
a girl twelve years Of age. q. 5.

Knock Him Down.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says ;
"If a man points an 'unlOaded' gun
at you, knock him down immediate.
Iy.p This is excellent advice, and
we trust it will be UNIVERSALLY fol-
lowed. In Georgia, and in several
other States, it is a misdemeanor to
point a deadly weapon at a person.
Such should be the law everywhere.
But every man should be a law
unto himself in this matter. 1t is
perfectly right to resent such prac.
teal jokes as are played With fire.
arms, whether they be loaded or
unloaded. These silly tricks do
not always end fatally, but they
constitute ample prOvocation for a
square knock down. When you
find yourself face to face with a
man who insists on "playing with
you" in this manner don't stop to
argue with him. Knock him down

FORT SCOTT, KAN, April 3d.
A dispatch from Prescott, in this
city, reports a terrible cyclone on
Thursday evening at about G:3O
o'clock. There we're seventeen
killed at different points through
out the country, and an incalcula'
BILE amount of damage was done to
all kinds Of property. Prescott
was literally wiped out of existence,
not a single building being left
standing to mark the site of once
prosperous and thriving place.
Reports are coming in from all over
the county OF damage by the terri
BILE storm. 1t was a genuine tor.
nado, but came from the northwest
instead OF the southwest as is usual.
Hail fell all over the county, some
stones measuring thirteen inches in
circumference. The killed, as re.
ported, are fifteen, namely: Con
stable Jake Stephens, VIII Nc
KsIe, Mrs. Sarah Crone, P. Flynn
and three children, Jacob Breach
and wife, Mrs. Richard Hardness,
Mrs. Douglass Walter, and an IN

Will Michael. The seriously IN
jured are: jim Woodbridge, arm
broken and back hurt; Geo. White,
arm broken; J. G. Hinsey, severe

will die. On the farm of Richard

ped IN an orchard, crashing upon a
large apple tree. All the occupants
were hurt very seriously, and Mrs.
Hardness was killed. The force of
the storm was appalling, and won
derful freaks were performed by the
wind. 1t is reported that several
persons we're killed in Blue Mound
and Mapleton.

THE RIOWA And COAANCHE ~
DIANS OF NORTHERN TEXAS.
A CATTLEMAN AND TWO OF HIS
EMPLOYEES MURDERED.

A CATTLEMAN AND TWO OF HIS
EMPLOYEES MURDERED.
QUANAH, TEX, April 23.-The
intelligence that the Kiowa and
Comanche Indians are on the
war-path, and that the large cattle
man, w. A. Stinson, and two OF
his employees were murdered by
them in Green county, near the
Navajo mountains, has created
great excitement throughout this
and neighboring north border coun
ties.
SO far az can be learned, the kill
ing of Stinson and his men is only
the beginning Of a general outbreak
contemplated for some time by that
part of the Comanche tribe known
az the "anti.Iease faction" to which
fully half, if not a considerable ma
jority, Of the tribe belong.
The immediate cause Of the kill
ing was a refusal on the part of the
whites to supply the Indians with
beef according TO their demands
but it is evident from what can bt
learned that this was only Matched
up as a plausible excuse for firing
the first shots in long contempla
ted war against their mutual enc
my, the white intruders, on theil
soil. 1t is more than probable tina
if the Comanches and Kiowas dor
their war.paint in earnest, they viii
be reinforced by the Cheyennes Of
Arapahoes, their neighbors on thu
north, who would be only too glat
OF a chance to do some fighting.

INDUSTRIAL SUICIDE.

1t looks idlotic to see papers pub.
lished in undeveloped mineral dis.
trlcts, advocating free trade prin.
ciples, and vet we may glance over
weekhes published in districts
whose mineral wealth is a fixed
fact and which is Only awaiting
capital to make those sections the
source of supplies for hundreds of
thousands Of consumers, and find
papers do this very thing. The mo-
meut there is any disturbance in
our laws OF protection, that mo-
ment there is a check upon the de-
velODment Of mineral resources,
which has been steadily growing
for the past five years. The mo.
ment our manufacturers are forced
to compete with the cheap product
of the mines of other countries,
that moment are our factories shut
down, and the laborers employed
by them thrown upon the country
as beggars, tramps, and vagrants
with sOcialistic tendencies, ready
to do violence to people aud plum.
der their property. On the other
hand, while protection, which these
free-traders term robbery of the
people, exists, American capital
will find investment, which will In
turn give labor employment at fair
wages. 1t is not argument to cite
the strikes which have taken place
IN the United States, as evidence
against protection. To do this IS
but to make an assertion without
a link connecting the alleged cause
with occurrences which have no
relation to protection. The much
more sensible view to take would
be to reason what condition Of
things would exist but for the re-
lief afforded by protection. If Ia
Dor is not satisfied with the wages
it receives under our protection sys-
TEN, and which is higher than it is
in other countries, what would
these strikes baye been had there
been no protection 7 Instead of
strikes for higher wages, there
would have been strikes for bread,
and the scenes enacted by the
Commune Of Paris would have been
re.enacted here.
Apart from this, our only hope,
and the hope of the South, depends
upon the protection of our indus
tries. And especially is this true
of the mountain districts of Vir.
GINA and West Virginia, aud
hence we say that the policy adyo-
Gated By some of our mountain CO.
tempOraries is suicidal to the in.
dustrial prospects OF our section
Fear existed when there came a
change of administration that there
would also come a change of CON-
mercial policy, and there was a lag
in mineral development and rail-
reading. But the tariff reduction
lists had a fair chance and could
accomplish nothing, and now there
is such a boom as has never been
known. The crisis, which had
been impending, is passed, with
bat little prospect of its being re-
vived soon, and capital Is more
confident and seeking investment.
We trust the eyes of our contempt
raries may soon be opened, and
that they will enlist in the cause OF
the peoples interests and work for
and advocate protection. Highland

SEVEN HORSES BURNED.
THRILLING SCENES AT A FIRE IN A
BIG NEW YORK STABLE.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The dis.
trict bounded by 23d and oath
streets and Sd and Lexington ave-
nues, the site of the old Bulls Head
Market, and the place OF so-cslled
shelter to a thousand horses, was,
at an early hour this morning, the
scene of a confagatlon the like Of
which the firemen say they never
saw before. AT $3.50 A. NJ. a cab
man driving down east 23d street
saw smoke and flames coming out
from the stables in the rear of Jas.
DonOhue's horse.shoeing shop, at
No. 151, and running back to the
stables in Oath street. He at once
sent an alarm from box 384, but be-
fore the fremen could get to the
spot the whole building was ablaze
and the entire block threatened
The work OF the fremen was seri-
ously impeded by the movements
of the frightened horses, who rear
ed aud pranced about in their stalls
and on the floor in a way that, for
the time, de6ed all efforts at remov-
al, and by the time a third alarm
had been sent out seven big ami
mails, the property of Davis, a coal
dealer, had been roasted alive
The firemen and police did excel
lent work in getting the horses
stabbed in the Twenty.fourth street
rookerles out of their stalls. Many
were led into he streets bleeding
and scorched, but all except the
seven spoken of we're got out alive
AS soon as the stables we're cleared
the firemen redoubled their attacks
on the flames, and at 4:12 had them
under control. The seven horses
destroyed were worth $1,000, and
the total loss will probably reach
$4,000.
